You Should See the View From Up Here

The other day I was looking at my camera and remembered I had a panoramic view option. So I was on a roof during an inspection and it had a beautiful view. So I thought, "Lets try that panoramic view option." It's pretty neat, you take up to 4 pictures and the camera "stitches" them together. The picture below was 3 pictures stitched together.

Here's another I took back in February.

Does anyone want to claim I don't walk on roofs? I don't think so.

I think the pictures look pretty cool. What do you think?

See if your camera has a panoramic view options and experiment. But please don't go up on the roof and try it :-)

My camera doesn't do in the camera but I have software for it. Not quite as convenient as yours.

Very impressive!! The photos... and, the fact you get on the roof...Very few of my inspectors will actually get ON the roof.

Great job!

Kathy, I certainly hope you find it. Cameras aren't cheap, that's for sure.

Great views. How far can you see on houses like that?

Rob, I would guess the visibility would be 20-miles or so.
